The Commonwealth of Axis Mundi is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Banba with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.135 billion Axis Mundians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Empyrean. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Axis Mundian economy, worth a remarkable 2,345 trillion Zennies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 193,247 Zennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, visiting the best Axis Mundian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, and the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Axis Mundi's national animal is the Hummingbird, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Axis Mundi is ranked 7,885^th in the world and 184^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 105.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
